What happened
During the takeoff phase of flight, the aircraft entered its initial climb immediately after liftoff. During this ascent, the plane experienced a rightward bank that caused the tip of the right wing to make contact with the ground. Following this impact, the aircraft settled on the surface where a minor fire ignited on the left engine. The fire was suppressed shortly after it began.
There were no casualties during the event, as all 31 occupants were able to exit the plane without injury. While everyone escaped safely, the impact and subsequent fire resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss due to damage exceeding repair capabilities.
Findings
Investigations into the incident determined that the primary factor leading to the loss of control was the failure of the right engine during the takeoff sequence.
